Re: The Boulder Agreement
Since it hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet I would just like to post this out here anyway. This so called agreement, again very similar to the one made last year, is a classic case of the prisoners dilemma. And anyone who has studied any kind of game theory or economic theory knows that a prisoners dilemma is situated so that both parties get a better deal if the decide to backstab their partner. To me even putting teams in this position runs contrary to what I believe is an inherent part of Gracious Professionalism and that is trust and honesty. Setting teams up to be able to lie to their opponent and then benefit from it just doesn't seem right to me.
